I bet they'll be counting feverishly--and wanting to help gather some 21st-century Audobon specimens to update the ol' collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-41492570843133220152008-02-15T08:04:00.000-05:002008-02-15T08:04:00.000-05:00From the base of the Catoctin Mountains. 8AM Frid...From the base of the Catoctin Mountains. 8AM Friday 2/15. 29 degrees. <BR/>So far this morning, three birds. One Robin, and two smaller black birds - The Mom calls them Catbirds, but we're not sure of the technical name. We're going to find our bird bible and check.<BR/>Back to sighting...........

Eew! <BR/><BR/>However, I have two Jack Russell Terriers in my house that would be serial killers if they were human! They will kill a mouse in a heart beat and if a bird isn't quick enough it would be lunch! Cats, terriers, same difference.<BR/><BR/>FayFayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590415626882244763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-32161962303988632092008-02-14T17:00:00.000-05:002008-02-14T17:00:00.000-05:00=]That is a great story of Audubon.

Katie thinks Audubon must have been a cool guy to have such a good understanding of the awesomeness of Newfies ;-) Scarlett appreciates the fact that he was interested in Eskimo type dogs as well. Gary and I love birds, so Audubon has something in common with everyone in our family.

She thinks the shooting and stuffing thing was a nineteenth century way of life - even for naturalists.<BR/><BR/>There is a lot about Audubon in the UK, because of when he was there, mistress thinks. I don't think she knew anything about his history (she has just looked it up).<BR/><BR/>We hope you have a good bird count and look forward to reading about it.<BR/><BR/>PippaKatherine and Pippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563769395873958826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-29719402877310265682008-02-14T05:03:00.000-05:002008-02-14T05:03:00.000-05:00Happy valentines day.Lots of love Simba xHappy valentines day.<BR/><BR/>Lots of love Simba xSimba and Jazzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008926263620001896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-61258022210023808172008-02-13T23:19:00.000-05:002008-02-13T23:19:00.000-05:00Very nice.

As I understand it, the rules of the BYBC this weekend is that we count for only for a 15 minute period of time, correct? I'll send you what I see, but, unfortunately, it will be another weekend 'away from the farm'. Aidan, my son, has a ski race on Mt. Hood, so we'll be away all day Saturday. Sunday, hopefully, will give us the opportunity to sit and appreciate the boids. :-)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808550287150936588.post-24251169369871965402008-02-13T22:27:00.000-05:002008-02-13T22:27:00.000-05:00With the snow we've had we have had quite a few si...With the snow we've had we have had quite a few sightings of our resident blue jays and cardinals.

It's a beautiful estate with alot of his artwork (and stuffed birds - blech!). I have volunteered to help Mom with the bird counting but she didn't seemed thrilled with that idea. I don't know why.<BR/> ECHOThe Daily Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021828658299037935noreply@blogger.com
